The Week

• Last week the New York Post, a daily newspaper of cheesecake, racism and left-ideology, for which some very talented people write, published proudly a picture of David Rockefeller, with a smile almost as broad as brother Nelson’s, handing a plaque to Mrs. Dorothy Schiff, owner of the Post. “A small token,” said Mr. Rockefeller, “of the esteem in which we hold the New York Post.” A good question: why on earth does Mr. Rockefeller—or the Chase Bank— esteem the New York Post? They are not socialists. Or racists. Or pacifists. So Mr. Rockefeller and the bankers must like it’ cause it’s sexy. Those dirty old men!

• The House Committee on Un-American Activities has opened investigations of the Bernon Mitchell-William Martin defection from the National Security Agency. Mitchell admitted he was a homosexual before the NSA hired him, says Chairman Francis E. Walter, and “how he got his job in the first place, I’d like to know, and I will find out, of course.” Walter revealed that one of the pair, while working for the NSA, also showed an unusual, not to say alarming, curiosity “about things that were . . . none of his business.” Mr. Walter linked the defection with the immunity of intelligence agencies from congressional investigation. Mr. Walter also claims the Administration knew about the defection days before it was announced in Moscow, and by failing to warn us, “gave the Russians a great propaganda advantage.”
